[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One piece of info- text him. Tell him you’ll text him when you just need a single piece of info and do it. Don’t ask questions if you don’t want a story.

The second example, talk to him about it and have a more subtle cue for when it’s not the right time. Maybe a tap on the arm, touching your nose, etc. But then allow him time later to talk about what was important to him.

The first is a you problem. You need to learn to listen. Maybe you’ll be more patient if you have ways to minimize the opportunities for this. He calls you and you know it’s going to be 5 mins. If you don’t have 5 mins then tell him I don’t have time right now can we talk at x time.

Teach him to text for 1 piece of info.

Take 5 mins a night to discuss the day tomorrow and if things like a Dr appointment are scheduled then you should be on the same page about what’s important to discuss so there’s no question about why you stopped him. He should also be able to do the same to you if you go off topic. [/quote]

Great idea about texting.
Disagree that the first is an OP problem. If someone tries to dominate my time but needs to get their thoughts together while they are doing it, that's a no-go for me. As someone who learned a foreign lanaguage, I would always always rehearse outside a shop. Would never dream of making someone wait while I stammered through something.

Get your thoughts togeter, FFS. Practicing can help you think on your feet better. [/quote]
